Switching off the appliance

To switch off, press the ON/OFF button until the mains power light

extinguishes.

If the appliance is not going to be used for an extended period:

1. Remove all deep-frozen packages as well as ice-trays.

2. Switch off the appliance by pressing the ON/OFF button until the

mains power light extinguishes.

3. Remove the mains plug or switch off or disconnect the electricity sup-

ply.

4. Defrost freezer and clean thoroughly (see section: "Defrosting and

Cleaning").

5. Leave the door open to avoid the build up of odours.

You can use your freezer for freezing fresh food yourself.

Important!

• The temperature in the freezer compartment must be –18°C or cold-

er before freezing food.

• Please observe the freezing capacity given on the rating plate. The

freezing capacity is the maximum quantity of fresh food that can be

frozen within a period of 24 hours. If you wish to freeze food several

days in a row, please observe a maximum capacity of only 2/3 to 3/4

of that on the rating plate. The quality of the food is best preserved

when it is frozen right through to the core as quickly as possible.

• Allow warm food to cool down before freezing. The warmth will

cause increased ice formation and increase the power consumption.

• Please note the maximum storage times specified by the manufac-

turer.

• Thawed foods which have not been processed further (cooked into

meals) may not under any circumstances be frozen a second time.

• Containers with flammable gases or liquids can leak at low tempera-

tures. There is a risk of an explosion! Do not store any containers

with flammable materials such as, for example, spray cans, fire extin-

guisher refill cartridges etc in the refrigerator/freezer.

• Bottles and cans must not be placed in the freezer. They can burst
